This function retrieves data for a specific group of primaryids, allowing for in-depth case-by-case evaluation and clinical reasoning. If MedDRA is available PTs are clustered by HLGT.

Usage

retrieve(
  pids,
  file_name = "individual_cases",
  temp_reac = Reac,
  temp_drug = Drug,
  temp_demo = Demo,
  temp_demo_supp = Demo_supp,
  temp_outc = Outc,
  temp_ther = Ther,
  temp_doses = Doses,
  temp_drug_supp = Drug_supp,
  temp_indi = Indi,
  temp_drug_name = Drug_name,
  temp_meddra = NA,
  temp_atc = NA,
  save_in_excel = TRUE
)

Arguments

pids

Primaryids of interest.

file_name

The name of the output xlsx file (default is "individual cases").

temp_reac

Reac dataset. Can be set to sample_Reac for testing

temp_drug

Drug dataset. Can be set to sample_Drug for testing

temp_demo

Demo dataset. Defaults to Demo. Can be se to sample_Demo for testing

temp_demo_supp

the Demo_supp databases. Can be set to sample_Demo_Supp for testing

temp_outc

Outc dataset. Can be set to sample_Outc for testing

temp_ther

Ther dataset. Can be set to sample_Ther for testing

temp_doses

the Doses databases. Can be set to sample_Doses for testing

temp_drug_supp

the Drug_supp databases. Can be set to sample_Drug_Supp for testing

temp_indi

Indi dataset. Can be set to sample_Indi for testing

temp_drug_name

the Drug_name databases. Can be set to sample_Drug_Name for testing

temp_meddra

the MedDRA dictionary, if available. Defaults to NA for subscription requirement.

temp_atc

the ATC classification, if available. Defaults to NA for testing.

save_in_excel

Whether to save the outcome in an excel. Defaults to TRUE

Value

Two xlsx files with individual cases information: one general with a row per ICSR, and one with drug information and multiple rows per ICSR.

Examples

FAERS_version <- "24Q1"
pids <- sample_Demo[sex == "M"]$primaryid
if (file.exists("data/24Q1.csv")) {
  retrieve(pids, save_in_excel = FALSE)
}
